About Izakaya Shinya

Izakaya Shinya is a cozy and welcoming Japanese restaurant that offers a genuine dining experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making guests feel comfortable. The menu features authentic Japanese dishes, including the popular karaage (fried chicken) and bulgogi pizza, which are praised for their great flavors. The drinks, such as Anteiku coffee and refreshing mojito, pair well with the food.

Many customers say the restaurant makes them feel like they are in Japan, with a warm atmosphere and seating that resembles local izakayas in Tokyo. Unique touches like umbrellas hanging from the ceiling add to the Japanese ambiance. The menu includes classic dishes like gyudon, omurice, and yakitori. While the wagyu is good, some say it’s not as impressive as in Japan, but the simple bar foods are highly recommended. Several reviews mention the chicken as a favorite, especially the karaage. The Wagyu is also noted as fantastic, though some find the chicken breast not as good.

The restaurant can get busy, and customers mention it can be hard to get the staff's attention for the check. Despite this, the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced, with quick service. The cozy ambiance and close tables may not suit everyone, but overall, Izakaya Shinya offers an authentic Japanese dining experience that many customers enjoy and recommend.
